Cloud-Experimente ja - aber hinter der Firewall

Auf IT-Analysis findet sich ein interessantes Posting über die Einstellung amerikanischer CIOs zu Cloud Computing. Es wurden knapp hundert IT-Chefs befragt und 85 Prozent davon experimentieren mit Cloud. Aber sie tun es offenbar hinter der eigenen Firewall und loten die Möglichkeiten von Private Clouds aus:

"Most organizations surveyed are experimenting with cloud computing - and experimenting is the key word. Eighty-two percent don’t foresee cloud bursting initiatives any time soon. This suggests an appreciation for private cloud management platforms that are independent of location and ownership, and can provide the needed security in a world of strict regulations around transparency and privacy.Forty-nine percent cite security as a chief concern with cloud computing. Another 31 percent pointed to the complexity of managing clouds, while only 15 percent said cost was an issue. Indeed, security concerns are a force driving many IT execs toward private rather than public clouds. Forty-five percent of organizations considering establishing private clouds as they experiment with ways to improve efficiency, increase their resource pool and build a more flexible infrastructure."
